Concurrently, a trio of food and beverage businesses are also on the market.

They are The Chocolate Velvet retail outlet in Nelson, Verdict Bar and Cafe in Nelson and the Stoneridge Cafe and Maze on the rural outskirts of Nelson.

The six business are all being marketed by Bayleys Nelson.

Salesperson Tony Vining said it was coincidence that the portfolio of properties had all come onto the open market at the same time.

"Some of the establishments had been quietly on the market for a number of months as their vendors tested the proverbial waters to see what interest was out there among their respective industry sectors.

"Now, by going public with full marketing, it's open season," Vining said.
